Profile

I build across AI, web, and mobile, and ship it. Forward Deployed Engineer with 7+ years building and shipping production software end to end, close to the customer. I architect and run a multi-agent AI build pipeline, have shipped 90+ projects including 84 live web applications, and built native iOS apps for Fortune 500 clients. I move fluently across AI systems (Claude API, MCP, multi-agent orchestration), full-stack web (React, Next.js, TypeScript), and native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI), and I own the full lifecycle from design through deployment and the customer relationship.
